Initially playing blues rock, the band's sound soon incorporated elements of British folk music and hard rock to forge a progressive rock signature. The band was led by vocalist/flautist/guitarist Ian Anderson, and have included other significant members such as guitarist Martin Barre, keyboardist John Evan, drummers Clive Bunker, Doane Perry, and Barriemore Barlow, and bassists Glenn Cornick, Jeffrey Hammond, and Dave Pegg. The group achieved commercial success in 1969, with the folk-tinged blues album ''Stand Up'', which reached No. 1 in the UK charts, and they toured regularly in the UK and the US. Their musical style shifted in the direction of progressive rock with the albums ''Aqualung'', ''Thick as a Brick'' and ''A Passion Play'', and shifted again to hard rock mixed with folk rock with ''Songs from the Wood'' and ''Heavy Horses''. Jethro Tull have sold over 60 million albums worldwide,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ian Anderson's 'Homo Erraticus' to be released on 14 April )〕 with 11 gold and five platinum albums among them. They have been described by ''Rolling Stone'' as "one of the most commercially successful and eccentric progressive rock bands".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jethro Tull Biography )〕 The last works released as a group were in 2003, though the band continued to tour until 2011. In April 2014, as he was concentrating on his solo career, Anderson said that Jethro Tull were finished. New plans for 2015, however, include an extended tour through the United States and Europe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2015 Tour Dates )〕 ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jethro Tull (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
